The global gas-insulated substation market revenue is projected to reach close to USD 45 billion by 2028. This can be attributed to increases in renewable energy cloud production, increased investment in transmission & distribution systems, growing demand for energy. Moreover, capacity supply shortages in heavily populated metropolitan areas, and government policies to enhance access to smart electricity meters are some of the other factors to anticipate the increasing demand in the global market.
Markets are projected to develop because of growing environmental issues and land shortages in cosmopolitan regions. Energy demand in developing markets is projected to push the industry as a consequence of shifting habits combined with that disposable per capita income. The product is expected to enter the market at a higher growth rate as it can be built in a smart space with isolating atmosphere for sulphur hexafluoride gas. Air-insulated substations are vulnerable to increasing levels of air emissions, and gas-insulated substations are more environmentally friendly. It is anticipated that growing need for low and small maintenance power systems will remain a top trend for rise in sales over the projected period. They are better in efficiency and reliability in comparison with air insulated substations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
The gas insulated substation market is growing at a CAGR of 10.85 % over the forecast period.
The major contenders in the global market are ABB Group, Hitachi Corporation, Siemens AG, General Electric and Toshiba Corporation. Moreover, the market comprises several other prominent players in the gas-insulated substation market as Alstom S.A., Schneider Electric SE, Hyundai Heavy Industries Co Limited, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Fuji Electric Co. Ltd. and Nissin Electric Co. Ltd
The market value of gas insulated substation market in 2030 was USD 47.65 billion
The higher demand in market is anticipated by the growing land value per hectare fulfilling demand development, as the gas-insulated substations need less space than their counterparts. Space restrictions for building these substations are 90 per cent smaller than most power stations in terms of their limited usage of capacity. Increasing popularity is expected to drive the global market, due to properties such as compatibility to fit in a building. It is anticipated that demand for compact power systems will rise and fuel global market growth. The product in market is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR due to its versatility to work in extreme conditions such as the arctic and desert. Extreme weather conditions are expected to increase high voltage power stations and market expansion in these regions.
Gas-insulated substation demand are expected to grow as a voltage demand rises in the emerging economies. Growing global security issues and protection at reliability & substation are projected to fuel demand growth over the coming years. Longer life cycle and one-time spending are expected to continue to be a primary driver of demand development for gas-insulated substations. Sulfur hexafluoride is a greenhouse gas that is expected to have a detrimental impact on consumer development for its consumption in substations. It is anticipated that high prices relative to conventional power substations would impede demand development and pose problems for industry participants. Internal fault can cause unnecessary harm and the aspect can hamper business development over the forecast period.
